What is recorded here

Standing stone in Ballyhass, County Cork, Ireland. A standing stone in Ballyhass, measured five feet two inches tall, stood on J. O'Hanlon's land before the exact spot was lost. It may have marked a boundary, a burial or a meeting place, but no clear purpose survives. The stone itself is gone from memory, leaving only a shape in numbers and a village name to hold it.

Bowman (1934, 53) recorded standing stone on J. O'Hanlon's land; '...5ft 2in by 1ft 4in by 1ft 2in'. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
